TO LL WHOM IT MAY CONCERTI: v

Be it known that I, JOHN McCOY, of the city of Philzidelphiu, in th'cStute ofPennsylvanie, louve-invented n new and useful Improvement in theManufacture of Sheet-Metul Cool- Hoda and I do herebydeelme that the ifollowing is a full, clear, und exact description ofthe construction ofthe same, referenceibeing had to the accompanying drmvings,making a,part ofthis specification, in which- Figure 1*'s a. side elevation of a.coul-had huving my improvement applied thereto and Figure 2 n verticalsection of partv of fig.. 1 l

Like letters ni' reference indicating the same purts when in bothfigures, Acoul-hod manufactured of plein sheet iron, soon rusts throughAut the juncture of the body und the bottom,

i while those manufactured entirely of galvanized or Azinckedsheet iron,though'not liable to this objection, are i much more costly,vand theobjectief my impro-vement is to produce n shect-metul coal-had havingthe durability of the latter, with but afsmoll increase over. the costof the former. l

My invention consists in making the bottom, und the lower pal-tof thebody ofy the had, of galvunized oi"Y zvincked sheet iron, substantiallyas hereinafter described.'

In the drawings, A B is the body of the hed; C D the foot, and Etherbottoui. About one-third oi` the depth of the bcdyof the hod, Imake-of gulvuniz'ed or zincked sheet iron', uniting the latter und theupper port A,

(which -is of plain sheet iron,) together by n double lap, en.` llhobottoni E; I also make of galvanized or t 'zincked sheet iron, unitingits edge und the louer edge ci' Btogether byu' double lap, b', (see tig.2.)4 I then construct the foot C D in the usual manner, of plain sheet.iron, and attech'it tov the'outer side of the'lover end ofvB, by meansof rivets ol d passing through both, a's heretofore, substantiallyusfshown inthedrcivings.

-By this mode of manufacturing sheet-metal .coul-hods, I produce anYurticle as dui-sible asthose made i entirely of the galvanized orzincked iron, and at o cost but little over those inode entirely oftheplciiri'4 sheet' i iron.

Havingfthus fully described my improvement, tvhalt I claim asnewQanddes-ix-e tclsecure by Letters Patent,

i S'cO'nfined to the following, viz:-

I claim manufacturing sheet-metal coal-hods, 'by making the foot C D,und the upper partvA'of-the body,v

of plain sheet iron, und the bottom E, 'und the Vlowcnpsw't B ofthebody, ofgulvauiized or zincked sheet iron, i

substantially'as and for .the purpose described. 4 y y.
